| description | Use this skill when creating RexBoard rendered tiles or pieces with shape, image, sprite, board-aware game objects, addToBoard, CreateTileTexture, createTileTexture, CreateBoardFromTilemap, createBoardFromTilemap, tilemap-rendered boards, or drawing RexBoard tiles. Triggers on: RexBoard shape, RexBoard image, RexBoard sprite, RexBoard rendered chess, addToBoard, createTileTexture, board tilemap rendering. |
RexBoard Rendered Tiles And Pieces
Use this skill when RexBoard chess must be visible Phaser game objects or when board tiles need generated textures.
Use This First
Choose the rendering approach:
| Need | Use |
|---|
| Custom visual object | Create Phaser object, then board.addChess(...) |
| Polygon tile/chess object | this.rexBoard.add.shape(...) |
| Static texture piece | this.rexBoard.add.image(...) |
| Animated/frame-based piece | this.rexBoard.add.sprite(...) |
| Reusable tile texture | this.rexBoard.createTileTexture(...) |
| Board from Phaser tilemap | this.rexBoard.createBoardFromTilemap(...) |
Required Setup
This skill assumes RexBoard setup and a board/grid are already available. If not, use rexboard-setup-and-factory, rexboard-grids-and-coordinates, and rexboard-board-and-chess.

Core Rules
- Use
board.addChess(...) for custom Phaser game objects.
- Use RexBoard
Shape, Image, or Sprite when tile coordinates should be part of construction.
- Set
addToBoard: true only when the object should register as board chess immediately.
- Use a consistent
tileZ convention for tile visuals, pieces, overlays, and blockers.
- Treat
createTileTexture as texture generation only; it does not place chess on the board.

Gotchas
createBoardFromTilemap returns a board from tilemap data; still inspect the returned board/grid before adding game rules.Shape, Image, and Sprite can target a Board or MiniBoard.- Passing
addToBoard: false means future code must explicitly call board.addChess(...) or miniBoard.addChess(...).
